Madonna's Tour Biggest Grosser Of The Year

Madonna has reinvented herself once again, this time as the top touring act of 2004.

The singer’s Re-Invention Tour was the year’s biggest grosser, according to Billboard Boxscore, taking in $125 million through September and scoring 55 sellouts out of 56 shows. The elaborate concerts averaged $2.23 million each night.

Another ’80s icon, Prince, came in second place, with one of his most successful tours in more than a decade. Playing to more people than any other artist (almost 1.5 million), Prince’s Musicology tour grossed $90.2 million.

The year’s biggest concert was a three-night stand by the Red Hot Chili Peppers and James Brown playing with Chicks on Speed at London’s Hyde Park, which drew more than 258,000 fans and grossed more than $17 million.
